The Drowning Shadow of Mankind
No lyrics have been submitted for this track yet.
The fire's ablaze To consume my remains To shower the sky Only to die by my tears My eyes are ablaze In these red-hot ashes My soul is the vault Above your heads The light permeates my structure Devoid of flesh and blood Reflecting my message On the surfaces of oceans The waters have accepted the dust Dispersed throughout the seas Of my physical form Washing away all vestiges of my presence There is no end to my flight There is no sorrow in what I say The distant memory of my presence Faded to nothing by quiet tears A calm and peace settles in my soul My freedom's been redeemed In the old books from the past From parchments yellow sulphur pages A silence is draping, draping a shadow Over the memory of my life The fires are ablaze To split the soul from my body

All that you believed in Is scattering beyond recall Only hatred and evil remains In a life without meaning You're screaming your fear of the future In a time which only makes for betrayal Through possessions, power, and the drug You survive, crippled and stooped Easy victim so manipulable By the prey of the human beast Bit by bit, they're cutting you up Drop by drop, they're enslaving you You're screaming your fear of the future In a time which only makes for betrayal In this unbearable hopelessness You still can't resist Your feelings have changed into their lies No possibility of resistance No way to set yourself free No way out from this curse At the gates of oblivion You saw the world, in whose Existence you never believed "Now you know the value of life"

Night has come, the trench is dark Tired of it all, I wait for orders Our hatred put in motion The huge colossus of destruction A dust is covering my moist eyes Already unable to take in this reality On my knees I beseech God To stop this hell on earth "Why won't he listen to me?" No man's soul has escaped The atrocious stamp of violence With a weapon in my hand I'm a danger to myself … to myself "My friends are dying Cut down by the enemy's fire I've stayed here alone … Alone Among the millions dead On my knees, I beseech you O God ! Stop this hell on earth Is there any sense to life? Tell me … tell me why won't you listen to me? I'm beseeching God on my knees! Under the burden of unbearable experiences I can't dream no more nor think about my life I can't feel the pain of imagination I'm a machine for liquidation Towns to battlefields What once was is no more It's the funeral of man's culture The decline of life and the end of history

The wind is coming from the mountains to the north To sow hatred and anger The clouds are covering the sky And so begins a rule of darkless The footprints in the sand and disappearing with the night The ghosts of those fallen and rising from blood A frosty wind is bringing a pan Singing its song to a death lie silence Singing about a death which will swallow up life The shores are flooded by cosmic seas Flowers wither and shrivel, return to their graves Trees uprooted from beneath Beseech the sky with outstretched hands Drowning in its own despair Rivers have passed over mountain ranges Striving to swallow up the shadow of mankind In the servitude of evil Darkness is turning a sanguine red Deep down in my soul I feel that I'm dying Before my eyes is merging An ashen sun with darkness Beauty and blemish were on and the same The footprints in the sand have vanished from the earth

When the day is dying And the darkness gains on a bloody sky The dull light of candles Shines upon scripture's writings. The chill of ages gone Breathes from walls of incense smell A testimony to cruel history "Can't you feel the tension?" Coming in, I hear the singing Striving to disposes me of my soul It permeates my entire being A veil of darkness masks the cryptic ritual Heaven and hell – what do they mean? Just two poles of human creation? Do you believe in their truth? But I'm free! Without chains, because My God is dead. Blinded by your prejudice Did you ever want to be free? I ask, "who are you?" A future of another's ideology? Another fanaticized victim. Can't you feel the moon Shining down her silver beams? About to the born… A beautiful day has begun … For a funeral … My God is dead.

Mind devoid Personal breakdown Only one sense of existence Internal struggle – chaos Have to get through it get Away from it all A life free from affliction Alone to myself – inside within At last in heaven What more, what more To stop the fear and the trembling Afraid of the pain death will bring? "Slave to dreams chains of dependence" Hallucinations The recess of my mind White crystals Tick – tock – thieves of time In the abyss of my "aloneness" The sun no longer shines The final rays of Me Criss – cross the melancholy sky My world – now in dreams Beyond the boundaries Then wanting to live I'm betrayed lost desperate Chained to a vicious circle. "A slave to dreams chains of dependence"

Drops of rain in tree's crown Thunder noise in the dusk And people are going, irons on hands Along burning temple walls With sadness look up to a winter sun Going through a drift – ice notions And the moon – friend of crazy mind Telling message to distant stars Voice of bell remind me my time to go It sounds so real Nails go through a fragile tissue Of the body on a cross Indifference going out from faces That's are above me And people are going, irons on hands Carrying crown of thorns With sadness look up to a winter sun Going through a drift – ice notions And the moon – friend of crazy mind Telling message to distant stars
